A herbal muscle and joint salve — the hot-then-cool sensation of a drugstore muscle rub, in ingredients you can recognize. Cayenne brings the heat from capsaicin; peppermint and camphor bring the cool. Arnica and wildcrafted comfrey are the herbalist's standards for sore muscles and bruising. Olive oil and candelilla wax for the base — plant wax, no beeswax. 2 oz screw-top tin. Not for use on broken skin.

The base wax is candelilla — a plant wax. Most herbal salves in this category use beeswax.

Scoop a small amount and rub into sore muscles or joints. Wash hands thoroughly after application — the cayenne and capsicum components will sting if they reach the eyes.

Use on intact skin only. Do not apply to broken skin, cuts, or open wounds.
Avoid use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Keep away from children under two (contains camphor).
Discontinue if irritation develops.

Passes The Standard. The body-contact components are the salve itself and the metal tin you hold and open. The salve is olive oil and candelilla wax infused with plant extracts and essential oils. No plastic. No synthetic fragrance, parabens, or phthalates.

The base wax is candelilla — a plant wax — rather than beeswax, which is the default in the herbal-salve category. Notable if you avoid animal-derived ingredients.

This is a topical therapeutic product, not a body lotion. Usage cautions are in 'How to use'.
